Kindle Fire HDX 7 16GB Price Drops to $149

The Kindle Fire HDX 7 16GB model's price has dropped to $149.

This discount is being offered by Newegg through its eBay store. It is only available for the 16GB variant with special offers. This means that the tablet will display Amazon ads on the lockscreen. It is not a refurbished model and it's covered under a one-year warrantee.

This is a pretty good deal as it undercuts Amazon's best price by $80.

The 8.9-inch model features the same specs with bigger display. The 7-inch model is normally priced at $229 with 16GB and $329 with 4G LTE connectivity.

Amazon also released a new version of the 7-inch 16GB Kindle Fire HD this year. This model features a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and sells for $169.

The Kindle Fire HDX is the successor to the original Kindle Fire line that launched in 2011. That model created the market for all of these new smaller low-end tablets.
